"Dear little girl," spoke Unbind
Vorki; almost tenderly, "whut a com
fort you have been to mo these long,
lonely weeks!"
"Ami what n friend you have been
to uh, Mr. Ynrke," quickly lesponded
tlio lissome, Inynl maiden tit Ills Hide,
"Why, If you hadn't mine along where
would futhrr nml I In1? Hi had lost
IiIh position nml he says, now that you
lire going to leave us, we will have to
inovo out to Dakota win-re his brother
Iiiih n farm. And you're nearly well,
nren't you?" prattled on the pretty hiHH
Joyously. "Father nays It's the fresh
elear air out here.
"And-tho cooking, llhodn," supple
mented Ynrke with n smile. "Why,
you nro n regular little housewife. Be
tween you and I, I have been cured."
"I nm so K'nd I could rry, almost!"
declared Jthoda. "And you're going
nwny," nml her lips quivered, "and we
may never wee you again, and you'll
forget uh."
Ho took the Ittle brown linnd In his
own and his kindly eyes expressed a
tienlKon from n true man.
"Never that, Itlioilu I This has been
the sweetest month In nil my life. I
was 111, worn out. Now"
"You'll go back to the city nml paint
beautiful pictures, ntid some lovely
princess will buy them, and you'll net
married and bnve a bride nil In silks
and satins, find I hope you do. Oh I
I hope you arc the happiest man In the
world, Just ns you are the very best I"
And here, bursting Into tears, the
mountain madcap, as this dear child
of nature was popularly designated,
run for the nearest thicket and van
ished. "I declarcl" uttered Roland, thought
fully nioro than tlint, with a sud
den thrill. An unsuccessful artist
In a money wny, ho bud taken n vacn
tlon of necessity. The llurton home
was small and rude. It had no luxury,
yet lie blessed the hour he discovered
It. The roses everywhere, the pine
groves, the plensant shade, the home
vegetables nnd cooking seemed to sing
health to him.
And llhoda she wns n breath of vi
vacity. As though he were some cher-

There Were Nibbles and Catches.
Ished elder brother she hevered about
him, gnldlng him to the rarest beau
ties of the landscape, rowing him on
tho river, watching hltn in silent rap
ture when ho pnlnted. She even coaxed
the soul-tempered Axel llurton to a
smile with her winsome ways nnd won
him from brooding over his loss of n
position.
Just now Iloland Yorke woko to tho
realization of a salient fact. He had
met n being who liked hltn for himself
alone. There was no mistaking that
rapt llttlo face of Interest, that out
burst of teurs.
"I wonder I" breathed tho nrtlst to
himself.
He wondered If Ms reluctance to
leave this fair sylvan scene nnd its
llttlo queen wns born of n deeper feel
ing than ho hud suspected. He won
dered if In later yenrs, no matter what
success came to hint, he would not
weary of hollow fumo and long for the
wild free life of this lovely paradise.
And then ho mentally counted cash
and prospects and shook his head
slowly nnd dubiously,
"You're coming, aren't you?" pro
pounded llhoda eagerly early tho next
morning. "See Vvq got father's best
fishing pole, nnd ho says this Is biting

distant.
"Father was keeper there. The Judge
and his family were away," narrated
Ithoda. "One evening the housekeep
er was taken suddenly sick and father
ran all the way to the village to fetch
a doctor. While he was gone some
one broke Into tin library and stole n
lot of the Judge's palters and some
Jewelry and money. They got away
'across the river In a skiff. When the
Judge got back he blamed father for
disobeying orders and leaving the
place ungual ded, though the doctor
said the housekeeper might have died
If hi; had not come quick. Well, the
Judge discharged father from a posi
tion he had faithfully tilled for over
ten years and we were adrift."
"Was much of value taken?"
"The Judge says he didn't care for
the money anil Jewelry, but there was
a lltllii tin box tilled with records and
papers of no use to others, but of Im
mense value to lilm. He has had de
tectives out and has offered live thou
sand dollars for the return of the pa
pers, but he has never heard from
them."
There was n lapse of silence, for
Hhoda had dragged a log to the shorn
as a seat for Itolaud and had arranged
pole, line nnd bait with sportsmanlike
expertnoss for her novice guest.
Thero were nibbles nnd catches and
at the end of two hours the llsli basket
wns pretty well tilled. .Suddenly, as
Iloland pulled hard on his line, llhoda
exclaimed:
"Oh, you must have a big one l" nnd.
as the rod bent, amid her excitement
she put out her hand to aid him.
"Why, what is It I have llshed up,
anyway?" queried Itolaud.
.Slowly, attnehed to the book,
dangling nnd swaying, n small metal
box came Into view, the hook looped
its wire handle. There It was suspend
ed, swinging shorewards, landed.
"Oh, It's tl'.o box!" almost shrieked
Ithoda, wild with excitement.
"What Ikix?" asked Iloland.
"Oh, I know It Is! I've seen It be
fore," fluttered Ilho'Ju. "It's the one
that was stolen from the Judge, tlio
one I told you about."
"You don't mean the one they offer
that big reward for?"
"Yes, I do! See," nnd Ithoda, de
taching the box from the hook, showed
where Its lock was broken. "Tho
thieves probably saw no value to the
papers nnd dropped tho box In tho
river. Yes, tho papers nre inside,"
continued Ithodu, "and oh, Mr. Yorkc,
Just think ! you'll get that live thou
sand dollars reward."
"Why should I?" challenged Iloland.
"You brought me here, you helped pull
It In."
"And fnther may get his position
back, now the papers uro found!" ex
ulted Ithoda. "Oh, you've brought
nothing but good luck to us I"
Tho gratitude, the aitlessness, the
devotion of the sweet girl overenmo
Iloland. He took her hand u:id kissed
It llku some knight paying his devoirs
to a noble lady, llhoda Hushed and
quivered.
"I shall not go nway tomorrow,
llhodn," spoke the nrtlst.
"I am so glad."
"And I think I had better see this
Judge Wharton about the papers nt
once."
"Whnt did tho Judge sny?" eagerly
inquired llhoda, when Iloland rejoined
her an hour Inter.
"He says Unit your father ran re
turn to his life position he Insists on
dividing the reward between you nnd
myself, llhoda, darling," nnd Iloland
took her hand and drew her towards
him, "I love the roses here, nnd the
pretty brooks, and the grand old
trees, and you, llhoda, most of all!
Shall I stay?"
No verbal reply was needed. She
had nestled down Into his brave,
strong iinns, Joy, devotion, happiness
In her lovely face.
Femlnlim.
Feminism is the first nttempt
since the days of chivalry to think
clearly nud talk straight on this wom
an business, to call things by names
that shnll square with the facts nnd
not with the appearance of the facts.
It is woman suffrage with the bark off,
for while woman suffrage wants us to
change our ways of doing toward
women, fen.lr.lsm demands that we
chango our ways of thinking about
women.
Feminism Is the first crust on the loaf
of man's dally bread, and the loafer
"who knows on which side his bread Is
buttered will eat crust with crumb. It
Is the lemon on the peach tree In the
garden of love, nnd wise is the man
who has sense enough to give that
lemon-nde. It is tho lantern of Din
genes to search out and tlnd tin hon
est man, even under his wife's wash
tub. Feminism Is tho ncld test of man's
chivalry and of woman's sincerity.

USE NO BANDAGES
IN NEW SURGERY
Latest Method of Healing Ob
stinate Wounds Proves
Great Success.
ME SPRAYED WITH OZONE
Stream of Gaseous Substance Flows
Into Deepest Recesses, Kllllna All
Microbes Horrors of Dressing
Wounds Eliminated.
London. llandages nro eliminated
in tho latest methods of healing ob
stinate wounds here. This Is one of
tho marvelous developments of surgery
to which tho .war has given Impetus.
Onu of the horrors of hospltuls Is
dressing wounds. Strong, brave men'
scream Involuntarily with pain every
day when the bandages lire removed
nud the wounds treated.
At Queen Alexundru's military hos
pital today several patients were ex
hibited undergoing the new treatment.
Two of these men wero most severely
wounded in September of last year,
nnd for ten luonths had been treated
lu the customary way without any sign
of henllng. On August 2 they were
brought to this hospital, the bandages
were Hung nway, the wounds were
subjected to repented applications of
a stream of ozone, being lightly cov
ered with n loose layer of lint In the
Intervals, nnd In four days healing was
In rapid progress.
This treatment Is simplicity Itself.
Oxygen passes from n reservoir Into
an electrical machine which converts
It Into ozone; the ozone tlows out
through a tine metal tube. The ma
chine Is wheeled close to the patient's
bed, the wound uncovered, and a
stream of the microbe-killing ozone
flows Into the deepest recesses. No
pulnfu! dragging off of bandages, no
rebandaging of the limb to hurt and
exhaust the patient.
New Treatment a Success.
Here was seeu u soldier who had
lost his right foot, with n stump cov
ered with skin so healthy nnd hard
that he could wulk upon It, a surgical
tnnrvel.
What might be called the open-nlr
treatment of wounds has come to stay.
At the Herbert hospital Is o soldier
with a bad compound fracture of tho
leg. The limb Is not swntlied In many
yards of bandages as wns the custom,
but lies between snndbngs to secure
immobility nnd Is covered only with n
single layer of lint. The lint Is kept
constantly wet with peroxide of hy
drogen. Surrounding the leg Is n large
cage covered with a sheet of thin but
ter muslin, so that the wound Is con
tinually refreshed by u free current of
air. Kxtremely rapid healing ami
freedom from the agony of manipula
tion nre the great gains from this
mode of treatment.
The whirlpool bath Is entirely n wur
Invention, from1, which excellent results
In cases of stiff joints bnve been ob
tained In France, if consists of a
small oblong buth, filled with water
which Is kept In continuous movement
by a miniature propeller revolved ut
a very high speed by menns of an elec
tric motor. A stiff arm or leg, hand
or foot, placed in tho bath and kept
there for some time Is much Improved
by the stimulus of the running wnter.
Marvelous examples of bone carpen
try are to bo. seen, such as the trans-
'fcrenco of a large piece of bone from

THREE DAYS IN THE JUNGLE
Escapes From a Lion by Climbing a
Tree Three of His Ribs Broken
When Machine Is Brought
Down.
London. Tales of indenture from
tho Jungles of South Africa, where
General Smuts Is operating against
the Germans, nre not uncommon, but
it is seldom that the wild events en
countered by dipt. A. T. O'llrlen of
the lloyul Flying corps, told here, have
been equaled.
The details of his ud futures were
contained In u letter from his wife to
relatives in Kuglaud ami have Just be
come public. It is probable that
O'Hrlen will be decorated for his serv
ices to the Ilrltlsh government nnd lu
recognition of his hardiness In surviv
ing an ordeal that would have meant
death to the average soldier.
Ho reported to General Smuts lust
April far down In German Africa be
low Konuou Irungl. Ills work us an
aerial scout ahead of the Ilrltlsh
troops operating ugalnst the Germans
won him fume. Flying over the Jun
gles nud tangled brush country during
the rainy season Is dllllcult. W hen an
army of vigilant enemies is added, the
task becomes more than dangerous.
The Intrepid Irishman finally engaged
on the losing side of an argument with
nemy nntl-alrcraft guns.
His Machine Brought Down.
He wns Hying over Jungle country
when German guns located him. Onu
of his wings collapsed nnd the machine
side slipped Into the trees, which pnr
tlally broke the fall, then crashed to
the ground. Had It not been for the
trees both driver nnd machine would
have been smashed to bits. As It was,
three of (J'llrlen's ribs wero crushed
and for several hours he lay In u
swamp unconscious.
Slowly ho recovered his senses nnd
took nn Inventory of his Injuries. He
could walk without dltllculty, but when
he swung his arms, the broken ribs
hurt cruelly. Holding his arms tight
to his sides, ho scouted through the
neighboring Jungles, where ho discov
ered unmistakable signs of the enemy.
Later, he heard n column of Infantry
approaching, nud fearing capture ho
set fire to the aeroplane nnd dashed
off through the underbrush.
Hour after hour he maintained a
fnst pace with the pain In his side In
creasing with every step. When night
fell he crawled high Into n vine-covered
tree. Sound sleep was Impossi
ble, lint nt lntervnls between fighting
Insects and making wny for Junglo
creepers ho managed to rest und In a
rough way bandage up his Injured
side.
With dawn he started out agnln,
and before noon hnd forded two rivers,
and swum u third. Toward nightfall
of tho second duy he enme to river
of considerable width, with a ' Bwlftj
current nnd signs tof crocodiles. By'
this time his hunger nnd .thirst, wore,
beginning to sap his strong butvlth-!
out thought of his condition or the
danger ho faced, ho plunged Into tho
braciilsh wnter. ' '"
dler's worst trench enemk'S In cold

About ten million doses of these
vaccines have been sent out from Mil
wall since the war began. Among
them Is n must valuable mixed vac
cine which gives protection from both
typhoid and the two forms of paraty
phoid fever. This has been In use
since Janunry last. Quite new, slnco
the wur began, nre the measures tak
en for discovering whether nnyonc
who comes in contact with soldiers Is
carrying the Infection of spotted fever
ut the buck of his nose, for, tilthougli
himself quite free from the disease,
such n carrier might create an epi
demic in u cump.
I
At the first splnsh a score of hugo
"crocs" on a point of lund down stream
made for him. There followed n race
between the mnnenters nnd tho quarry
that nearly ended disastrously for tho
Irishman. The hist few yards were
heartbreaking, for ns he glanced back
over his shoulder hu could see the
yawning mouths nnd ridges of Jagged
teeth straining to reach him. As he
scrambled up the muddy bank' lie heard
n dozen vicious snaps. '
Almost oAhnnsted, ho trudged
through the tangled brush nenr tho
river. Gaining u point on some high
er ground, he looked back nt the scene
of his escape. To his horror, ho suw
the shaggy mane of a lion, which wns
coining towurd liim with nose glued to
his trail. The nearest placo of safety
was n tall tree, which lie climbed,
monkey fashion. The king of the for
est nosed about tho tree for some time,
whining In dlsnppolntmentover his lost
meal, but eventually he went his way.
Hy this time O'Brien was well-nigh
exhausted. His clothes were torn nnd
his flesh lacerated by the brush. The
pnln of his wounds produced n high
fever, and tho brncklsh wnter which
he wns forced to drink made him 111.
All night long ho staggered on, but ho
remembers llttlo after sundown of tho
second day.
Toward noon of the third day after
his disappearance a sentry far out
ahead of the British lines saw a
movement In the brush nnd thought nn
animal had strayed near. Hu raised
his gun to tire, when a human hand
was raised above n cluster of brush.
Amazed, the sentry went forwurd, nnd
thero found O'Brien half crazed with
thirst, soaked with mud and covered
with blood from scores of slight cuts.
His wife, to whom he hud been
married but a few weeks before ho left
for South Africa, hnd left Englnnd to
Join him before he wns reported miss
ing. When ho recovered from the
fever nnd opened his eyes for his first
conscious look ut his surroundings his
wife wns sitting by his bide, having nr

through the critical illness.
ONE BEETLE A GAS FIGHTER
It Seems Nature Discovered Value of
Poison Fumes In War Before the
Soldiers In Europe Did.
London. The discovery of poisonous
gas seems to have been anticipated lu
nature's laboratory. A little British
beetle has been employing poison gas
to defend Itself for untold nges. One
of the strongholds of the Bombardier
beetle (Brnchlnus crepitans) is nlong
tho shores of tho Thames In tho
Gravescnd district. Here It tinds a

scattered by the river's bank.
Tho Bombardier beetle Is very liable

ECONOMY IN HOME
MANY WAY8 IN WHICH MONEY
MAY BESAVED.
Substitutes for Expensive Meats and
Other Table Furnishings Are Pos
sible, and Health of the Fam
ily Will Be 'improved.
Tiy Nelllo Miixwcll, Department o
Farmers' Institutes or the University ol
Wisconsin,
We all know, If we have given the
subject any thought that the feeding
of the family Is the most expensive
item lu the list of household uccoutits.
Every housewife should keep u care
ful account of her Income nnd outgo.
Too many of us are like the youni
bride who was given a set of books
In which to keep her accounts nnd
when asked by her husband at the end
of the month if her accounts balanced,
showed him the bonk, on one page was
written, "Uecelved of John, sixty dol
lars," on the opposite page these
words "spent it nil."
Since the cost of living Is constantly
advancing it Is vitally necessary thnt
real concern be paid to reducing cer
tuln items of expenditure, nnd an
meat Is one of the most expensive of
our foods, nny economy In the pur
chase of it will make a noticeable re
duction In the food bill.
By using ment substitutes of cheese,
nuts, milk ur.d eggs which nre less ex
pensive lint fully as nutritious, the ex
penses niny be reduced. Cheese hns a
food value of twice that of meat pound
for pound, and can be used with much
less wnste. The use of cheese in com
bination with milk and eggs makes a
most satisfactory substitute for incaL
The cheaper cuts of mcut may bo
utilized more often nnd on tho farm
nil kinds of meat may bo salted,
pickled, canned or dried for fnturo use.
So that In time of plenty prepnre i'or
the famine. Pork sansnge, fried to
sear both sides of small cakes, packed
In large Jars nnd covered with tho
boiling hot fat so thnt It makes n per
fect senl over tho sausage will keep
to use In midsummer nnd Is a constant
source of satisfaction for It is so easy
to get It ready for breakfast an It
needs but little more cooking. Chick
en may bo canned when too much Is
cooked nnd set nway for another time
xiien nn emergency calls It forth.
The utilizing of left-overs In tlie
planning of tho menls Is another Im
portant polntor the housewife to con
sider. It goes without saying that she
plans her menus days ahead In order
to snve expense nnd uso these left
overs acceptably.
Fruits and vegetables lend them
selves to nil sorts of combinations as
salads und soups, and make dishes
that nre tnsty nnd wholesome.
The costly hnblt of eating more tlin
wo need is not only wasteful of mate
rial, bad on the complexion, but vast
ly more important, ruinous to the
digestive organs. Preparing more
food than Is used, paring away vege
tables and fruits, cooking vegetables
In so much wnter that much of the
food value is wasted, throwing nwny
the trimmings nnd bones of meat, that
would mako good broths, stews or
soups those aro somo of tho wastes
that need to bo watched. Constant
vigilance Is the prlco of success In ex
penditures as in other things.
Lemon Preserve.
Peel nnd cut one dozen lemons in
slices nnd soak for a dny in cold wa
ter. Then boll four pounds of sugar
nnd a cupful of wnter for nbout twenty
minutes nnd tlr to keep "rom burning.
Next ndd the lemons, some chopicd
raisins und almonds nnd let thicken
slowly. This Is a delicious and now
filling for sandwiches to servo with
iced tea or lemonado on a warm after
noon. To keep lemons fresh, put a lnyer of
fine dry snnd nt the bottom of a large
onrthen Jar. Placo on this n layer of
lemons, stalk end downward, being
careful that they do not touch one an
other. Cover these with a three-Inch
layer of sand. Add another layer of
lemons, and so on until the jar Is full.
In a cool, dry plnce lemons packed llko
this will keep n year.
Some Favorite Potato Recipes.
Potatoes Fried Whole When nenrly
boiled enough, put small potatoes Into
n saucepan with butter or beef drip
pings. Shako them about to prevent
burning until they nro brown and
crisp. Drain them from tlio fat. It
will bo nn Improvement if they aro
floured, dipped In beaten egg and rolled
In fine bread crumbs nnd then friend.
Potntoes for Breakfast Cut cold
boiled potatoes In slices lengthwise, dip
them In beaten egg nnd put on a but
tered ple plate In the oven. As soon as
they unTbrown nnd hot, serve.
The Linen Press.
With regnrd to household linen, as
n nilo the middle of sheets wear out
first; but by the old-fashioned plan of
turning sides to middle you can give
them n fresh lease of Ufa When pnst
use for beds they servo as dust sheets
nnd on Ironing boards. '
1 For Delicate Fabrics.
To cjeun fine muslin blouses, table
centers, etc., dissolve n tnblespoonfjpl
of borax In a gnllon of water; put the
muslins Into this nnd lot them remain
for half an hour; then gently rub thciii
